Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
Yes, when I was looking at KiCad I found this: https://github.com/freerouting/freerouting But it looks like a research project to install. :) But someone here running Windows needs to try it and

Re: Etchants and rust
... It will be ok outside. Getting etchant on jeans will cause holes to appear after a wash, so don't be sloppy. Have clean water nearby if an eyewash is needed. Don't suck the stuff through a tube

After I logged in, I could see the file. I even downloaded it to my computer and watched it, no problem. If there is a place I can put it for you, let me know. I still have it here. 28MB. I hope

Re: Etchants and rust
There's two limits, design and process. Process limits simply say that you can't physically make the board like that. Either too close to the edge, or holes too small, or pads/traces too

Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
Eagle tried something like that on a version I didn't use. You had to be authenticated each time you used the program. I'm sometimes where I have no internet (<gasp>!) so I avoid that kind of

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
More than poor programming, Dropbox can only be used on your account. The basic (free) does not allow a person to goto another link and look at the bubble tank. I get error 404. I am logged in and

Re: Etchants and rust
Thanks for the info Harvey. I have a new question. What is the closest pads should be to each other? And if you are making a bunch of small boards and transferring them to copper for etching what is

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
LOL :-) Believe me, the thought of the nails crossed my mind so I was looking at a plastic shed. My wife is a hair dresser so she already got me some good H202.

Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
Yes, DipTrace is restricted. DesignSparkPCB is installed on your pc but opens up a start page every time you open the program. You can just close it after you see the latest news form them and go on

Re: Etchants and rust
It sits in the corner of a normal room, about 1.2m from a small pcb drill press, and rust isn't higher than that from a normal room environment. I'm only using the polystyrene slab because it's a

Re: Etchants and rust
So add a plate of baking soda to the 5 gallon bucket to absorb the HCI. Sounds reasonable. I have plenty of baking soda for my soda blaster. :) Thanks

Re: Etchants and rust
Russel, ? Do you use your etchant around tools like in a shop environment? I know the HCI is the troublemaker but how does the polystyrene help? I have somewhat of a machine shop so lots of steel
